About

In 2012:

• 36 college coaches
• 6,000+ daily people attended

The Lake Erie Lacrosse Showcase and Festival was started in June 2006 by BuffLax, LLC. as an ideal way to celebrate lacrosse, be seen by college coaches and begin your summer lacrosse season. It is our goal to have balanced competitive games.  We strive to promote player development, team building, sportsmanship and recruiting.  To every family's liking, the tournament is hosted at one convenient location with over 14 fields surrounded by shaded picnic areas, a breezy lake shoreline and an on-site pool with a capacity for 1,100 people.

The Lake Erie Lacrosse Showcase and Festival is one lacrosse event your team does not want to miss out on!
